The Casual Vegan

Oh, Internet. How often I use you, but how little I accomplish!

I am still here, still pregnant, and having much more fun eating now that I’m 23 weeks along with things. I admit to still being much more “casual” about veganism than I had been prior to pregnancy, but I’m finding nice ways to temper that when I eat at home. My cravings ebb and flow. For a week, I was eating cheese slices at home, but found a nice way to up my fiber and vitamin intake while fulfilling that craving was to pair the cheese with apples and oranges and cucumbers sliced up and served to myself like an elaborate appetizer.

Greg is not a big fan of texturized soy protein products, and while I certainly don’t think they’re fabulous for me, I do find them to be a better alternative than running out and grabbing some real chicken nuggets, et cetera. Plus, for someone that kind of shies away from salads, they can be just an excuse to eat a lot of great veggies for flavor. Today I was cooking up a vegan burger patty and chopping up tomatillo, cucumber, thin yellow onion slices, and a small handful of red lettuce, when I realized I had way too many veggies to put on the bagel I had planned to use (I visualized them all falling out of the little hole) — So I grabbed a whole wheat pita, cut it in half, popped it in the toaster to make it warm and tasty, slathered it with hummus and a little salsa, cut up my burger patty into smaller parts and made a yummy hummus sandwich!

That’s all. Just checking in, Friends.
